Name-calling and mudslinging

Richard Grimes, like many letter writers to The Star, did a very good job of articulately discussing the issues of the day by offering informative epithets, name-calling and mudslinging directed at President Trump. This appears to be what passes for logical discussion of issues from the left nowadays.

Maybe someone should inform these letter writers that if all they have to debate with are mudslinging and name-calling, they are totally unarmed with regard to the ongoing battle of ideas. There are serious issues to be addressed and many diverse ideas for improving things.

Maybe we should all hope for more-informed discourse from Democrats and less-hysterical hyperventilation. Writing letters calling the president names reflects poorly on them, not on him.
